The resulting information is submitted to subscribers, as described infra, and used in multiple applications including, but not limited to, real time vehicle routing; emergency vehicle routing; roadside emergency services requirements indication; traffic management; public agency notification of reduced vehicle flow on roadways; and real time as well as historical flow patterns to agencies responsible for maintaining or designing roads for optimum traffic flow.
The term ‘subscribers’, as described herein, shall include, but not be restricted to mobile transceiver operators, such as cell phone or GPS enabled display panel users, Internet-enabled computer users, and users of PDAs (personal digital assistance devices), or such other entities as public agencies or the like. The invention describes a system and Method to capture, measure, analyze, and describe a traffic condition in a plurality of predefined grid segments, and supply to a subscriber base multiple levels of services consisting of, among others, alerting subscribers of impending traffic jams, alternatively supplying subscribers via cell phones, vehicle based map display panel, or via the Internet, LANs or WANs, with routing instructions for a subscriber specific route segment (FIG. 1) beginning at node Long1/Lat1 and ending at node Long2/Lat2 (FIG. 2), or for a set of route segments contained in a subscriber specific, or default stored matrix of routes, beginning at node XY1/XY1 and ending at node XY2/XY2 (FIG. 2), following a maximum flow algorithm known, for example, as Ford-Fulkerson, Dijkstra, or similar algorithm.
Furthermore, the invention describes a system and method to measure in real time highway traffic in segments, or subsegments, including variable subsegments, ahead of highway entranceways and use the data derived from such measurements to directly control the cycle and length of traffic lights controlling access to the highway (FIG. 6).
